Here is a new finished cj750 sidecar with 32hp engine, very beautiful.
First because the customer has good taste, chose the best color and pin strip, and decided which parts should be shinning to match the bike.
Second is because the chrome quality is quite good.

I asked a similar question about buying a bike in China and riding it back on HU and got something to think about. If you go ahead keep me informed about how it went. I do not know about Ireland but in the UK we cannot register bikes with a right hand sidecar manufactured after 1981, although there are ways around that of course.

Ask about the MOT if you try most of the "ways round". A trike makes three tracks in the snow, one that makes two fails the MOT. A lot of welding or overstamping round the frame and engine numbers gets you an MOT fail and a call from your local vehicle crime squad who'll ask you how many other ringers you have and if your insurance is happy with your modified bike.

The only safe way to keep a post 1981 outfit on the road in the UK is to mount the chair on the left.

Thanks Mark - we're usually the same in Ireland in most things regarding motorcycle regulations (except we have the 33BHP restriction for the first two years of our license, but without the option of a direct access course). I'll have a look into it though, who knows.

For what most of these Chinese vendors are selling their bikes for and the shipping costs to the U.S., you're better off building your own hack or buying a Ural. I received several quotes from a few of these places recently and some of the bikes were upwards of $20K or more depending on options, paint, engine type, etc. Not to mention the countless horror stories people have of not being able to get them registered and tagged stateside (few inmates on here notwithstanding). To each their own though, I'm just sayin'..........

That is why someone should buy the one I have for sale. It has been registered in the US!

I came across one local to me a few months ago (the one we were talking about), I was actually shocked to see someone selling a registered and tagged CJ750 and it was the first one I had seen - I had thought they were a myth up until that point
